It’s always the ones who say they don’t want to pretend to be original who are. Margaux is part of the generation who grew up on Sex and the City and an obsession with Louboutins, but she feels of the status symbol shoes, “Je ne pas de tu.” Instead of kitschy plastic or diamond jewelry, she has a wrist of earthy gemstone bracelets and wears a long t-shirt dress with army boots or a hoodie and jeans with the effortless, edgy quality of a Stones girl. Adverse to “Upper East Side” culture, the aesthetics of a Jim Jarmusch film and the iconic lifestyle of the West Coast skateboarding community, chronicled in Lords of Dogtown, are more Margaux’s speed. Growing up with a rock n’ roll Mom and an art dealer Dad, pushing boundaries is in her comfort zone. Margaux is turning her renegade voice towards making music of her own, and she hopes to travel and see “everything in this world… I am always unsatisfied, I always want things bigger, bigger, bigger. It’s not good,” Margaux excitedly laments.

For its beautiful imagery and core family values, Maria is deeply rooted in Catholicism. The Virgin Mary is a backdrop to her current appetite for wearing lingerie as clothes, like her short ruffled bloomers with stacked loden Jeffrey Campbell heels with girly turquoise socks peeking out or a black bustier with vintage floral pants and it speaks to the juxtaposition of Maria’s heavenly, Lolita-esque appeal. Still enthralled with Where The Sidewalk Ends, her other favorite writers are Bukowski and Ginsberg for how straight-to-the-point they are, even if they are at times the darkest and harshest of literary icons. For Maria, their “knowing what love is” is what most attracts her most to their writing, “They embrace love even though they have been let down so much and are so bitter. I think that’s what’s so beautiful. I’m infatuated with the idea of having someone you can’t live without.”

Jazzy wears the support and love of her large and extensive family on her sleeve in a button-up shirt inherited from a step-grandfather, a Parliamentary barrister, which she wears as a dress. Under a classic Alexander Wang blazer with major 1970s-by-way-of-2011 Charlotte Olympia wedges, Jazzy makes a staid staple rock. She owns and wears many pieces from her grandmother, whom Jazzy describes as “the most beautiful woman” she’s ever seen, with “amazing long, black hair and piercing bright, blue eyes, she was always perfect, always immaculate with her makeup. With six sisters and two brothers on both sides of the ocean, one of the Jazzy’s biggest wishes is to have her entire family in one room, which has never happened as yet– but, for now, that room is not big enough in her East Village digs, where Jazzy studies acting in NYC.

At the unusually young age of sixteen, Karolina started to venture out into the world, modeling in places as far-reaching as South Africa, Spain, Athens, Paris and London. But despite her worldliness, she is as down to earth as can be, wearing no makeup with a uniform of “solid” high-waisted Levi’s jeans, the signature classic black sweater and hint of bohemian Tibetan hoop earring. Her mom’s comfort in her own natural skin has been a source of great inspiration to Karolina. Drawn both to the spiritual cloistering of a monk and the exploratory bent of a transient, Adam is similar to the two sides of the characters that make a whole in “Naricissus and Goldmund,” one of his favorite books by Herman Hesse. His style is elemental and authentic – most of what he wears is found during his travels and the pieces stick with him for their sentimental value, like the charm necklace that his mother gave him for Karolina that he wears, a found cardigan that his fiancée stitched for him, his first camera, sold to him by a friend for five dollars, which he still uses for his photography, and probably most of all, his unapologetic long locks of hair – he’s always felt that when he cut them for modeling, he lost a part of himself.

Karolina feels that the American Indian engagement ring Adam gave her says everything about the couple’s originality and never in your face style. Her years of traveling reveal the influence of tribal cultures, with her long animal print dress and piled-on eclectic jewels while he keeps it real and elegant in nautical stripes, white jeans and western shirts. “You have to find your stillness and peace and separateness within yourself to be independent and to be whole, to have that individuality, and also to be part of the whole experience of life,” Adam feels. And for Karolina, “It’s only the mind that sets limits.”

This same bravery and sense of uninhibited fervor goes for everything Irina does. She turned her passion for beat poetry and rhythmic literature into songs with the help of Pete Doherty when she collaborated with the Libertines at fourteen years old and today, among many other projects, she is designing her own line of clothes based on what she feels is a need for the quintessential women’s three-piece suit and she is jamming on stage with Sean Lennon and others with her new endeavor, Operation Juliet. Irina refers to her successes as “improvising,” but her talent and honesty are real and never more apparent than in her iconic sense of style. Her dad, who sometimes still speaks in whispers, an affectation left over from his past, had a resounding impact on Irina when he told her to be herself because everyone else is already taken. When you see her sprawled on a daybed in a couture hippie dress, extraordinary sheepskin bohemian coat and legit Mongolian boots, you get what a tasteful, cultured and confident free-spirit she is.

On any given day, it could be 1885 or 1929 when it comes to Irina’s distinct visual expression. She is an avid reader of books with details so vivid that one can imagine themselves in them, like Ernest Hemingway’s A Moveable Feast. The novel is about Paris in the ’30s and it’s as if Irina stepped out from the pages when she wears an embroidered princess coat and a long silk dress from the exact place and time of the legendary author’s book, paired with a turn of the century embroidered artist’s coat layered with a ’20s-inspired Chanel embellished headpiece. She is an amalgam of all of the characters in search of the perfect expression of their artistry in Woody Allen’s most recent film, Midnight in Paris. Irina has such a passion for the city of creativity and romance that she too walks around at night and writes at a bar on the top of Montmartre, where she listens to the stories of an old man who says that he is Ernest Hemingway. However, she would most likely be in the exquisitely beaded ’20s dress that she’d like to get married and buried in, but “hopefully not on the same day.”

Karl Lagerfeld’s excitement for the artists and muses of past centuries taught Irina most of what she knows about where to look for influence as a designer. But for me, Irina is of that stature herself with her eclectic doe-eyed androgyny. She not only wears a tie with a button-down shirt and glen plaid blazer à la Diane Keaton, but takes it to a level of hyper-diversity with jodphurs, a leather corset belt and a Greta Garbo-like hat. She rocks the masculinity of Katherine Hepburn in oversized Balenciaga palazzo pants, but with with the delicacy of a ’20s cloche hat and a checked vintage blazer. Following in the footsteps of her writer activist father and grandfather in an authentic military blazer over an Ossie Clarke dress, Irina thinks for herself. This is epitomized by her sense of outrage when someone criticized her in an article for not being afraid to wear the same thing twice: “the most ridiculous line ever written…I don’t know anybody who doesn’t wear the same thing twice.” When you have a soulful connection to everything in life, including your clothing, it’s not disposable.

“It’s a bigger compliment to me to have girls walk up and tell me my style is cool than a man,” Kaylee says, so here it goes. I am still hoping to acquire (she promised to sell it to me) the black men’s cashmere sweater that she so artfully shredded. Her over the knee embroidered YSL boots that she wears with thick gray knit tights are monumental in a Russian princess kind of way, while her Balenciaga combat ones are seminal in their chic masculinity. I love the way she wears her select boot collection with short shorts and a unique vintage top, like the Dior canary yellow blouse with a giant bow on the back. According to Kaylee, although she likes moving forward, sometimes, “the only way to make things happen is to stand still.” It’s often within limitations that creativity is birthed.

Mey was discovered by her modeling agency at the age of nineteen while marching in the Gay Pride Parade with a shaved head. The hair, or lack thereof, was a symbol of her fresh start from high school and letting go of the desire to fit in. Having the courage to follow your heart and your dreams runs in the family. Mey’s parents escaped the Khmer Rouge in the ’70s and ended up in Brooklyn via Thailand.

Mey’s minimal style remains more or less the same, but not her hair. Its various lengths from long to nothing at all represents a timeline of the emotional and professional stages of her life, although her androgynous and edgy archetype always shines through. There was a time that Mey felt as though she had to be more girly to be accepted in her career, but today she proudly does not own a dress. Instead, she’s striking in breton stripes and trousers and few can make a simple tee and skippies look so of the moment. Of modeling she says, “It has taught me to keep pushing and never give up.”

A seeker of friction as a means to personal evolution, Sibyl abandoned her huge modeling career early and while doors were still flying open in order to build her experimental living space and embark on a new challenge as a musician and mother, both of which have been the most humbling of her careers. Hell-bent on “one eighties” like her mom, who left an office job at fifty to be a potter, Sibyl left her urban paradise for the idyllic Topanga canyon. There, the wandering walkways greeted her when she arrived – she didn’t have to build them – and they lead to outdoor bathtubs and long wooden stairways to nowhere. The pierced punk rock hippie who skateboarded to castings in Paris is now a hippie that fashioned a jacket made from a sleeping bag and prefers comfy clothes with big camouflage pockets to carry her phone while hiking in the “fluffy clouds” of the mountains.

Sibyl says,”I just want to be able to do everything I needed to be able to do with my body and still look like I got dressed in the morning.” Earthy, but not without an edge, Sibyl’s cut off her overalls, padded the bottom of her high-waisted shorts and values her handmade 19th-century style work boots. Her current communal mirror to herself is the father of her daughter, her daughter Puma and the silence of nature. The path is yet another challenge, and just right.
